I am trying to update the operating systems on I pod touch 3rd generation.

I am trying to update my operating systems on I pod touch, 3rd generation.
The instructions say:
Settings
General
Updates
I don't have an updates options on my i pod touch?

The Settings>General>Software Update was introduced starting with iOS 5.
To update
Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes
iTunes 10 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
A 1G iPod can go to iOS 3.1.3
A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.5.8 or later. With 1OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
A 3G to 5.1.1 Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
Identifying iPod models
Are you sure you really do not have a 2G iPod? Those can only go to 4.2.1
Identifying iPod models
iPod touch (3rd generation)

The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

I have tried to update the operating system on my ipad several times without success. Each time it reaches 353.2mb of 353.2mb and starts to process the file. Nothing happens and then I get a message saying the network connection has timed out.

Have you tried temporarily turning off your firewall and antivirus software whilst the download is happening ? A number of people on here have had success downloading it after doing so.

I am trying to update the operating system on my ipad

I am trying to update my operating software so I can download the cloud. It keeps saying that if I download new software it will delete all my files, apps, books , photos and music on my ipad? What do I do?

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

Tried to update the software on my i pod touch and now it does not work at all and wont restore either

tried to update software on i pod touch but would not work and now ,wont restore back to factory setting or anything

Without more information all I can suggest is:
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

after, it start the short restart, then (Please connect to I tunes) appears on the screen.
this was strang message, since i did the same upgrade to other devices, and it shouldn't ask for this.

i switch it off, and on, and again it asked to connect the iphone to I Tunes.
i open the I tunes and connect the phone to the PC.
then i got this message on i tunes: Error happened, please click Ok to restore.
I clicked Ok and it took me to this link:

Ever since I updated the operating system, itune doesn't play music on iphone 4. if it plays, it plays only one song and gets stuck.

Ever since I updated the operating system, itune doesn't play music on iphone 4. If it plays, it plays only one song and gets stuck. I've tried to reconnect to the computer to see whethere there has been missing portion during the upgrade... but not really. does anyone have the same issue?

What does "gets stuck" mean?
It repeats?
It stops playing?
Have you tried the basics from the manual? Restart. Reset. Restore.

Do you see a half moon icon in the upper right corner of the screen? If so, you have Do Not Disturb enabled. Settings>Do Not Disturb. Turn it off.
Or do you have system sounds muted?
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center. Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

HT1414 My iPad does not automatically update the operating system. Under the general tab in settings there should be Updates, but there isn't. Advice plz?

My iPad does not automatically update the operating system.how can I accomplish this?

Your post says you are on iOS 4.3.2. You need to be at least at iOS 5 to have a "Software Update" capability on your iPad. Right now, you need to update your iPad using iTunes on your computer.
Plug your iPad into iTunes (current version: 11.0.4). Let it sync. Then choose "Check for Updates" from the iPad's summary page in iTunes.

Im running mac os x V10.5.8 on my macbook pro. Is there anyway i can update the operating system to os x lion?

If it's a Core Duo Mac, no.
If it's a Core 2 Duo or better Mac, phone the online Apple Store and order a Mac OS X DVD, and if the computer can't run 10.8, a download code for 10.7.

Want to update the operating systems to Mountain Lion version 10.8.2

Want to update the operating systems to Mountain Lion version 10.8.2 on my Macbook6,1 from Mac OS X Version 10.6.8. Will this affect the performance of my computer in a negative way, and if the benefits outweigh it? Thanks.

While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t run Mountain Lion. There's a Mountain Lion Support Community where everybody has Mountain Lion. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/os_x_mountain_lion

How do I update the operating system in an iPad2?

How do I update the operating system in an ipad2?

I suggest that you don't, the new operating system stinks. But if you want too, go to settings, general, and then software update. If your iPad will support it, it will update.

The icon of Youtube is not after the update the operating system

Hello, I was update the operating system when the Ipad was disponible I didn't see the icon of Youtube. This icon is like a t.v. (is the original)
can you help me?

The YouTube app is not included with iOS 6. Google offers their own app for free via the iTunes Store, though they do not yet have an iPad version. The iPhone version will work, though not at the full screen size. There are probably also third-party alternatives, one of which may suit you better.
Regards.
